Situated on the grounds of a 5-acre estate on the fringes of the charming coastal village of Embleton, find pure peace and tranquillity at this enchanting cottage with scenic woodland and orchard walks beginning from the doorstep. Magnificent rooms and views combine to create a stunning setting for a holiday in Northumberland. This is the ultimate romantic couples retreat for those craving an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Elegant furnishings and Rennie Mackintosh-inspired décor adorning the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner create a truly warming ambience that invites you to make special memories with your loved one. Cuddle up on the cushy sofa in front of the calming crackles of the roaring wood burner, which is housed inside an impressive fireplace. Rustle up a tasty meal in the kitchen to be enjoyed with a glass of something chilled while seated around the superb, stylish dining table. When you can’t resist the call of bedtime, head upstairs to retire to the en-suite king-size bedroom that features wonderful views overlooking the treetops and everything you need for a dreamy slumber before tomorrow’s adventure. Soak up the last of the evening’s sunshine by dining alfresco on the decked terrace before enjoying a moonlit stroll across the 5 acres of shared woodland around the estate.

The estate’s magnificent grounds on the outskirts of the medieval village of Embleton boasts countless sun-dappled footpaths to explore from the doorstep. Nestled on the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the shadow of ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, spend hours building sandcastles or walking the dunes teeming with wildlife of Embleton Bay, set just under 1.5 miles away. If you fancy practising your swing, there’s also an 18-hole golf course behind Embleton Bay. The charming market town of Alnwick, home to some fabulous local shops and restaurants and a stunning castle, can be reached within 8.5 miles.

Loved the accommodation. Provided with all you could want and extras like the bread, wine and eggs. Did find the chair in the living room a challenge to get out of. But very comfy. Bed was fantastic. Thanks for a wonderful stay. Anne and husband were lovely.

One of the best cottages we have stayed in. Well equipped, clean and roomy for 2 people. A delightful wellcome pack waiting for us when we arrived. The cottage is in a very good position to explore the coastline particularly: can walk to the beach in 15 minutes. Would go there again.

Comfortable, cottage in a quiet location, just outside Embleton. Good village farm shop. About a mile or so to Embleton Bay, either through the village to Dunstanburgh Golf Club or down to Dunstan Steads; Craster village a bit further.. Friendly and helpful owners.

What a special place Shirewater is. A very warm welcome from Anne and Peter. Walking into the smell of freshly baking bread in the kitchen was the perfect start. The food hamper was beautiful. Dont miss out on Tildas eggs from the hens next door. The lodge has everything you could wish for. It was immaculately clean ( and I am very fussy!). The supRead moreer king bed was incredibly comfortable and sitting in bed with a morning cuppa looking at the distant sea view was lovely. The roll top bath in the en-suite was perfect after miles of walking on the nearby beaches and coast paths. Shirewater is a little slice of heaven. The orchard was not only bursting with the juiciest plums but masses of butterflies! The heron was fishing on the lake and the grounds are simply beautiful. Expertly landscaped to make the most of the natural environment. What an absolutely wonderful time we had. We shall be back without doubt. Hide

This is a beautiful place. We had a great week exploring the area. The owners were so friendly and welcoming. The goodies hamper and loaf of freshly baked bread in the bread machine were delightful. Absolutely nothing negative to say!

The property is ideally located to enjoy Northumberland. You can walk down to Embleton beach and enjoy a walk along the coastal path. Easy to drive to other locations as well. A mix of castles, beaches and walks. The property itself has a lovely layout with an open kitchen area, dining table, comfortable chairs and a TV (make smart by an AmazonRead more Firestick) and DVD player. Games, books and advice on what to do in the area (it's all there). Really enjoyable stay and the owners are really friendly and helpful. Hide

A quiet location with a delightful garden which we were at liberty to explore. The lodge is spacious, very clean, light and bright and beautifully decorated. Our hosts were welcoming, helpful and lovely to talk to. We appreciated the generous hamper of good quality food which we found on arrival.

The Lodge at Shirewater was delightful. Though the booking staff at Original Cottages were very pleasant, they appeared somewhat disorganised. I asked for twin beds when booking - this request was ignored. I subsequently telephoned to repeat the request, and was assured this had been done. My client account still showed a king double. I changed toRead more twin on the account . I was not surprised on arrival at Shirewater to discover the bed made up as a double. This does not inspire confidence. Hide

Quiet location outside Embleton, but easy access to the coast. The village of Craster is just done the road and possible to do some walks from the property itself. Reasonable access to Alnwick and villages on the coast like Beadnell and Bamburgh. Comfortable and well equipped property, friendly owners. Nice large garden to be explored.

I felt at home and relaxed the moment I stepped into the Lodge. I knew wed made an excellent choice. The bed and the sofa/snuggle chair were lovely and comfortable and the Lodge was wonderfully spacious for two people. We loved being in the countryside but also near the sea. I dont think wed appreciated just how lovely the gardens and grounds wouRead moreld be and how they would be a significant part of our relaxation on holiday. Every day, when we got back to the lodge, we took our chairs and a drink down to the burn and enjoyed the late afternoon and evening sunshine. It was the perfect holiday home for us and we would have loved ti stay a bit longer. Hide
